Rufus Wainwright working on ‘danceable’ new album with Mark Ronson

The pair hit the studio earlier this week, and Wainwright has said the songs are already sounding more “danceable” than his previous material.

“We’ve been in for three days, and I already look 20 years younger,” Wainwright told Rolling Stone.

“I have to start looking around for motorcycle outfits or something, I feel so damn cool.”

Speaking about his plans for a more dance-orientated album, Wainwright commented: “I just want to make something that you love, driving around in your car listening or losing your mind to on a dance floor. Something to serenade us through these very, very troubling times.”

The singer added that his infant daughter Viva is already informing his new material.

“There’s nothing like impressing a little girl – nothing quite as lovely, and sometimes nothing quite as difficult. I’ve written three songs about her already.”
